Since my Abita Strawberry Beeramisu has had such a wide and positive reception, I thought I’d feature another favorite Abita brew for this week’s Happy Hour Friday post. Purple Haze, if you haven’t had it before, is a raspberry-flavored lager. It’s one of my favorites; and luckily, since this is a local brewery, it’s pretty easy to find on tap around here.
I got the idea to try it in a margarita recipe because a friend and I were brainstorming margarita ideas for a cooking competition she’s participating in this weekend. I won’t give away what she’s submitting, but maybe I can convince her to share it with us next week.
Anyway, there are lots of “beergarita” recipes out there, so I thought it was a no-brainer to make a raspberry version. And since I always have my margaritas sans salt, I thought a sugar-rimmed glass would be a better compliment to this fruity concoction.
Ingredients
Purple Haze Margarita
24 oz Abita Purple Haze
8 oz tequila
1- 12 oz can frozen raspberry lemonade concentrate
Directions
Mix together and serve over ice in a sugar-rimmed glass.
OR Add all ingredients to blender with 2 cups ice and blend for a frozen version. Serve in a sugar-rimmed glass with a straw.
Pretty darn good, I say!
